ahaha this thread is cracking me up I love it keep the stories coming ... remding me of all my other experiences I had forgotten...

right now with my COBB SRI brings a whole new WTF IS THAT? aspect to the persons face and my pops concerned "WHOOOAAAA Slow down you're gonna crash!!!" and my 86 year old grandmother who cursed my vehicle claiming that it almost made her throw up...
 
Had a coworker with me last week. I was pulling out of a parking lot, telling him about the great ride, MPG, extra room with the seats down, etc, then I say "Oh, then there's this" (stomped on the gas in second gear and it squeals most of the way through, chirps into 3rd). His resonse? "HOOOOOOLY s***!!! WHHHHAA DA HELL IS THIS THING?"

He now wants me to stop by his place on the way home so that he can convince his wife to get one.
 
lmao these stories are hilarious....

i took my mom for a ride hit about 100 on the on ramp and she was yelling slow down! and actually got mad at me and all i could do was laugh, she just sat there shaking her head saying, its not funny!

oh man its funny scarin people.

My stepson (who just turned 13) once made the remark in front of my in-laws that he was afraid the car was going to tip over. I rolled my eyes, shook my head slowly at the idiot child and calmly said, "you're trying to make people think I go speeding around with you in the car. Trust me, you have no idea how fast that car is."
What kind of 13 year old boy doesn't get in a car like that and first thing out of his mouth is, "how fast can it go? Show me!"
Sometimes I worry about that kid.

Buy him a 3 cyl Geo Metro for his first car. That'll teach him to embrace his inner turtle.
 
The first time I got my MS3, my girlfriend on the way home was playing with the radio...I could not get enough of pushing her back into the seat... (lol2)

Though, she never got scared of the car...even now thats its a banshee out of hell...she loves it. Nothing I can do scares her... Oh well...
She won't drive it though... (lol2)
 
ya my gf would tease me that I'll never let her drive it I finally shut her up when I pulled over on the road got out and left the door open and said get in and drive it... she didn't want to. I stood there until she did. She got in and eased the clutch and I go like it... and I go okay push the accelerator in a little harder and the car took off scared her so much she's NEVER asked to drive it again.

every now and then i drive around my gf's 10 year old brother. i'm in the same boat as you, thinking, "this kid is gonna love this. why wouldn't he?"

i come to find out, that he tells his parents every time i drive fast. **** that. i cruise at 30 mph with him in the car now.

going back to topic - i love bringing new people in the car with me. my mom hated it and said shakily, "this doesn't impress me philip." shut up mom and listen to that turbo

My Mom always asks to take my car if she has to run out for something forgotten at a family event or something. She just laughs and says "it makes strange noises but man is it fun to drive..."

LOL! Dude, that made my day!

Two stories:

1. I had a company meeting at one of our clients and our marketer is late as usual. So I say I'll drive. Same thing everyone else said here; she gets in and says nice car (at least she did not call it cute or a wagon). Needless to say, we made it right on time. She was impressed and now refers to it as "the racecar". When we get back to the clinic, one of my co-workers saw me peel out of the parking lot with her getting her paperwork together and said they saw her neck snap backward. Good thing I'm a physical therapist! :)

2. My wife regularly white knuckles it when I merge on the on-ramp at 80 mph in 4th gear. There's this steady Woooooooooo....... sound coming from her side as this goes on, with the occasional "oh my God!". If I didn't know better, I'd think we were having sex! :)

Seeing as you're married, that's probably based on a very vague recollection.
 
love this thread. . .

My mom has an rx8 and all she does is talk s*** about my car and how her car is sooooo much faster. I asked if she wanted to see how fast it was, of course, she replied, "yes". Off a stop light, i floored and wheel hopped 1st and 2nd, then chirped 3rd. She screamed out, "OMG I think you broke it!" Everybody gets scared by the wheel hop lol
 
the first day i drove my car to the office i saw the owner of my company driving behind me in his lexus gx470 (the big SUV). he mad an asshole lane change to pass me, but then got stopped at a light. he obviously doenst recognize me cuz hes never seen that car. needles to say he never had a chance at that light and i took the 'pole position' parking spot.

as i was getting out of my car this conversation began

CEO: So you got a new car?
Me: Yes
CEO: and we are racing to work now?
Me: wouldnt be much of a race
CEO: I dont know this thing has a big powerful engine
Me: (smiled and walked away)
 
This thread is cracking me up, haha.

So I have my cousin in the car for the first time. And she was asking the normal new car questions, since she has never seen, even though I've had it for 6 months. (How much did you pay, why did you go with the hatch, etc...)

Then I tell her that it's not a normal Mazda3, and it's the Mazdaspeed3.

Her: "What's the difference"

Me: "Well for one thing, it has a turbo"

Her: "What's a turbo?"

Me: "..."

Me: "I'm not going to get into it, I guess I can just show you"

So we enter the on ramp, and I down shift to second, and let it rip. Before you know it, we're going 80.

I look over and she has this worried look on her face.

Her: "I DONT LIKE IT! I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A RACE CAR!!!"

nice! I have turbo envy. When I accelerate in my P5, my wife laughs at me and asks where the rest of my engine is. I feel so much shame. (sad2)

I feel your pain X2~lol

I have yet to ride in a MS3. Dealers don't take me serious enough. I guess i look too young. lol
 
A group of friends came with me to the restaurant and all but one knew about the car's power. She sat in the middle of the back seats and i nodded at my passenger friend and we just floored it in 3rd and 4th and she just sat there and paused then ".....DAMN DO THAT AGAIN!"

Funny s*** lol
